Help us build a world-class Collections Management System
To preserve and share Saudi Arabia’s textile heritage, we need a professional digital system to document, manage, and care for our collection.
Why a new system is needed
- Fragmented and inconsistent records
- Limited digital documentation
- Manual processes that increase risk
- Not aligned with museum-standard practice
What the new system will deliver
- Museum standard documentation and care
- Secure, cloud-based storage and backups
- Accurate research-ready collection data
- A foundation for access, storytelling, and growth
Support our investment in a professional Collections Management System.
Your support will help us document, preserve, and share Saudi Arabia’s living textile heritage.
Sponsor a region, tribe, or themed group within the collection.
